STI kill
Well, I wasn't driving this time, but I was in the car, so I'll tell the story.
We were on the highway on ramp in my car (see sidebar for info) and we're going about 35 mph. Well, this STI driver is behind us, I had noticed him a little while ago, but neither of us thought anything of it. As we're on the onramp he keeps nailing it, coming up to my bumper and backing off. He does this over and over again and it starts to get REAL annoying. Finally we get onto the entrance of the highway, and he tries to nail and do a flyby. That wasn't happening. Dropped it into 2nd and nailed it, he had gotten the jump obviously and was ahead by about a half a car. By the time we hit 60mph he was back to the quarter panel. We went up to about 90mph and then backed off. By then we had about 2-3 cars on the STI. We slowed down to the flow of traffic again (although there wasn't much) and saw the STI driver. He came by on the passengers side, I tried to give him a serious thumbs up (was a nice car, pulled pretty hard too) but he smiply did a flyby at probably 85 or so and didn't look to happy
The STI seemed to be fairly stock. I heard a loud blow-off valve however and it sounded a little raspier, so he may have had exhaust and and aftermarket BOV done to it but not much more. Too bad the owner was such a jackass, I wanted to ask him what he had done. Was a fun race though, first real race I've done with this car, too bad I wasn't the driver this time.
